Half Blood

Chapter 12 : Downpour (1/2)

[Third Person's POV]

With her claws retracting, the lady clad in white removed her cloak, showing her dark-greenish hair, and eyes locking into a dangerous glare.

"I am Arach, one of the Limbs of the Phantomhive of Eyes."

She curtsied, but Rachel and Kleid never left a chance but to engage in an attack, but Arach was expecting it, as if she was dancing through their efforts.

"You two are lively," she exclaimed while trying to catch any one of them.

"Some of my men were wiped out. Luckily, one of them had the initiative to activate a portal for me," she lashes again, slashing the nearby trees like it's nothing.

Her red eyes looked above and saw the gigantic monster behind. Hailey reaches a tree, pulling it out and tossing it at the Dixinians.

Allyson and Charles scurry away, heightening their alertness on what will come next.

"Hailey, stay still," Arach orders.

The giant didn't hear what she said. It's busy catching the two wolves. With a sigh, Arach made a swift motion, slashing under her elbow in a quick succession.

Hailey groaned, kneeling into the ground, creating a short quake. Gripping its wound, she snarls back at Arach.

"Oh, don't look at me like that."

Arach walked and saw their tracks fading as they ran quickly away. With a smile, she raised both of her hands. A white web entrapping a small area, forbidding anyone to leave just yet. The Dixinians were surprised, they had no choice but to deal with their enemies first.

"Sh*t. We might have to escape through the trees," Charles said, pointing above.

* Steps.

"What are you planning, Lady Arach? We must finish them!" Hailey spoke, still grabbing her arm and regenerating the tissues within.

"I just got here. Can't I at least enjoy?" Arach replied.

Hailey is still grumbling about the mission. She was pissed. Her veins glow once again. With her remaining hand, she slammed the ground, creating a large magic circle.

"What are you doing?" Arach glares at her.

Hailey's monstrous face smiles. Behind her expression was pure hatred and vengeance. She'll finish the mission like she wanted. Her nerves sparked, tingling to activate the ritual.

"That's the Ritual Circle! She's planning to activate it!" Allyson shouted, she felt a sinister intent behind the circle.

Rachel immediately rushes towards them.

Arach opens her palm, a large web traps her by tangling in her legs. She wasn't playing at all. Rachell struggles to pull out the webs.

"This web-it's made out of magic," she exclaimed.

"Lady Arach... I'm sure you'll be gladly acknowledging my presence here with the help of this circle."

"Really? Try me," Arach coldly replies.

The light of the ritual circle increases, but it didn't made Arach fazed. Instead, she launched herself forwards at Hailey's neck and tore it with her sharp fingers.

"You shouldn't bother your boss," she replied, smiling maniacally.

The light slowly dissipate leaving only the ritual circle present. Arach lands, her glare exudes enough animosity. As she took her hood off, an immense aura envelopes the place. She was dead serious.
